Guests are met at any location of their choice in Cape Town, from where a drive of about 50 minutes brings the tour to Franschoek. Situated in one of the most picturesque valleys of the Cape , the town of Franschoek owes its existence to the first French settlers who worked the Drakenstein Valley.

Some time is devoted to exploring the town and its memorial to the French Huguenots, set in a lovely garden, before visiting three of the fine wine estates in the Valley, renowned internationally for the exceptional quality of wines these fertile soils produce. All the noble cultivars and classic styles are on show here. From superb whites such as Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Semillon and Chenin Blanc to the rich reds of Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Pinot Noir and Merlot. During the late afternoon the tour makes its way back to Cape Town.
